Some stories and books never lose their relevance, no matter how much time passes. Among them is Rudyard Kipling’s 130-year-old The Jungle Book. This collection of stories about a boy raised by wild animals has become one of the most beloved children’s and young adult books in world literature.
The Teatr Maska production presents The Jungle Book in a fresh new way. The creators of the play ensured that its stage adaptation highlights the timeless relevance of its message. We tell the colorful story of Mowgli and his extraordinary Jungle Family using stunning animal costumes, masks, and puppets. The mysterious magic of the natural world is enhanced by an atmospheric and captivating musical score.
